A fix for your modding addiction

REDELUX — a new modding project by quizz_kid

Most of our readers probably know quizz_kid, the Swedish modding enthusiast, who created such cool modding projects as R-Kaid-6, M4 and Sputnik 0667. Well, quizz_kid didn’t plan to stop there, so he started a new modding project called REDELUX.

While based on the design of R-Kaid-6, the new custom modding project will be essentially an all-in-one PC. Aside from traditional PC hardware components, quizz_kid also plans to install many interesting devices into this project, such as a small Dell M110 LED projector and a sound system. The REDELUX modding project will also feature a front panel different from R-Kaid-6, two wireless gamepads and a trackball.

A part of REDELUX’s case

Since REDELUX, just like the R-Kaid-6 modding project, is designed as a compact computer, which will be primarily used for emulating a whole range of classic video game consoles (NES, SNES, Sega, Neo Geo), its hardware won’t display any signs of extreme performance with a compact Dell Optiplex gx260 PC acting a parts donor. As for the emulator, this project will use MAME with a customized shell.

A custom trackball will be an another interesting part of the REDELUX modding project: since there are currently no wireless trackballs available on the market, quizz_kid decided to make one himself. To make a custom trackball, quizz_kid will use a wireless mouse, components from a regular trackball and a 51 mm diameter ball made from Tiger Eye chatoyant gemstone as parts. The said gemstone doesn’t only look good (see for yourself in the photo below), but also has a color scheme, that will fit the wooden parts.
